   Brendan Forrest

   On this episode I interview Brendan Forrest, who is a fantastic multi-instrumentalist, composer, and singer-songwriter.

   Lindi Ortega and Mike Meadows

   On this episode, I talked with my good friends, Lindi Ortega and Mike Meadows, about a project that we actually worked on together. I’ve known Mike for a while and have worked with him a lot over the years. Late last year Mike introduced me to his friend Lindi and shortly afterwards we three cooked up a plan to record some Tom Waits songs and release them as a joint single. Lindi and Mike are both amazing artists and musicians and it was an honor to get to work with them both. So please join us as we dive into some of the funny stories and interesting details about this project and how it was made. I hope you enjoy it and as always email me at jack@jackbarksdale.com (mailto:jack@jackbarksdale.com) for any questions or show ideas.

   Liam St. John

   Liam St. John is an amazing singer-songwriter based out of Nashville, TN. His songs are a modern amalgamation of a wide range of American music. Roots, Blues, Rock, Soul, R&B, he does it all. Liam’s new EP, Believer is a shift from his two previous “stripped back” records. Believer features full band arrangements of Liam’s songs and shows a different side of his music. I really loved talking to Liam about his music, what his music means to him, his journey, his goals, and much more. We even got a surprise visit from his friend Evan Honer. Anyway, this was a very interesting conversation and I hope you enjoy it. As always email me at jack@jackbarksdale.com (mailto:jack@jackbarksdale.com) for any questions or show ideas.
